Polish!

Makeup Academy Shade 12

I was quite satisfied with this product, my only objection, however small, was that you need to apply 2 coats in order to get that "in the bottle result". I tend to wash my hands a lot so it was great to have a polish that could measure up. I was even able to do some manual labor in the garden without so much as a chip! Y'know how some polishes can leave a weird dye on your nails and skin after you take it off?
Not with this, comes off super easy and doesn't leave residue.

Rating: ½
Price Range: Under £3
Where to Buy: Superdrug
Pros: Long lasting
Cons: Needs 2 coats

*Tip: If you run out of cotton balls, use kitchen roll instead of toilet paper. It's much more durable and won't crumble as easily.

Introduction

Welcome to my new blog!

After a few years of watching makeup tutorials I realized there weren't enough makeup options for the frugal buyer. I constantly see makeup artists using expensive name brands, mainly MAC, and I'm thinking, "I can't afford that!" So I wanted to start a blog dedicated to those of us who can't afford to be extravagant.

Now I should mention, so that there's no confusion, that once in a while there will be a sale where I can cash in on some more expensive brands. But let's get one thing straight: I would never pay £10 for a tube of lipstick. 

So if you're the type of person who is looking for those cheap prices without getting a cheap product, this is the place for you. I hope you all enjoy my blog!
